"Enthusiasts that helped put them on the map".
That's an unusual statement to make. There is no such thing as that - no one did charity by purchasing something they didn't like in order to support an ideology. A product with certain characteristics found willing buyers. The company emulated the dna that made the product attractive and released variations of the product. This continued pattern when repeated over an amount of time led to a successful brand.
So when you hear "enthusiasts" you think of yourself? Or people way back when when, started purchasing and raving about the sports cars and luxury sports cars that this German company was producing, do you think it was American housewives then who were purchasing BMW's?

It's not much of a stretch to say - "enthusiasts helped put them on the map". In my opinion.
Had someone said only enthusiasts purchase Bmw's, it'd be different.
